Vendetta opens up to a packed arena with the camera panning around to show shots of everyone in attendance, as well as the announcement team. The camera focuses on the squared circle where Michael Astin stands tall with a microphone in hand.

Michael Astin: "Last week was a disgrace. Last week, Razor 'Mancream' Xtreme and Madcox Gayine decided they were going to assault my tag partner and pupil backstage before our match, prompting the match to never occur. Because of this, numerous wrestling forums and websites claim that last week's Vendetta was one of our worst. We had no main event because this shitlord thinks he owns the place because his brother is Chief Operating Officer. I got news for you, Razor: you're dead fucking wrong. But I'll get to that later because I have to convince people to watch United Xtreme since our ratings are now expected to dwindle thanks to Razor and Madcox."

Michael gestures his hand to the titantron where an image of Prince Alex III, Xtreme Icon, Dante Cross, and Minkaro appear.

Michael Astin: "One of these four men is going to be the next XWA Intercontinental Champion. Tonight, Prince Alex III will face Xtreme Icon, and then later, Dante Cross will face Minkaro. Both matches will be fought under No-Disqualification rules. But what about the finals? I thought long and hard about this: no matter who is in the finals, I want the winner to feel even more accomplished. And what better way to do so than having the match be under 'I Quit' rules? For those who don't know, that's where you have to get your opponent to say they quit in order to win. Done the correct way, the match can be heavily violent."

The titantron changes to an image of Dante Cross and Ryan Quill.

Michael Astin: "Now these two men both have something in common. They accepted my challenge. That's right: Dante wants to try to pull double duty. Don't ask me why, but he does. I never revealed the stipulation. Could it be... Cage of Death? Nah. How about a Multi-Man Ironman Match? No, that sounds too boring. Oh I know! How about a match I made at 2WWF? A Gasoline & Lighters Match! See the concept is quite simple: there will be four containers of gasoline and each man is going to be equipped with two lighters on their person. There will also be smaller flasks of gasoline underneath the ring. Set weapons, tables, even your opponents, on fire. The match can only be won by pinfall or submission though and it must occur inside the ring. Paramedics will be at the ready with fire extinguishers should they be needed. The one and only time this match happened, I actually lost. And I set myself completely on fire because of it. I was sent to an asylum, yet people thought I died. But I'm not here to talk history. So Dante and Ryan, if you want to back out, now's your chance. This match will cause burns and it won't be pretty."

Michael turns his attention to one of the cameras now.

Michael Astin: "As for my final announcement, tonight, the main event is going to be myself versus Razor. And Mr. Madcox is going to be banned from ringside. Actually... wait. No. EVERYONE is banned from ringside. If ANYBODY comes down to the ring, they will be fired immediately. Additionally, the match will also take place inside a steel cage. To make it even more interesting, if Razor wins, he gets to choose his stipulation for United Xtreme. But if I win? James Best gets to choose it. Don't worry, James. By the time I'm done with Razor, he'll be a fucking cripple and you'll be the new champion."

"Hell's Pyromaniac" drops the microphone and exits the ring.
